“The Cherry Creek market continues to see properties selling faster than a year ago and spending fewer days on the market with inventory levels being very similar to what they were in February,” said Soley Maria, a leading Broker Associate with Kentwood Real Estate Cherry Creek. “Looking at residential homes, the number of sales and sales volume are down significantly, both comparing year over year and year to date compared to 2017. Both average price and highest price sold for this category have a strong upward trend, with the exception of highest price for March, which is almost flat.

“The condo market in Cherry Creek shows a downward trend pretty much across the board for number of sales, volume, and prices,” Maria continued. “This can partially be explained by the fact that some of the condos representing the active inventory are still under construction and thus cannot close yet. I believe that the combination of the spring market and many of the construction projects getting closer to completion will see the Cherry Creek market appreciate across the board. Cherry Creek has been one of Denver’s most sought after neighborhoods for quality living, dining, and retail, and the renewed Cherry Creek will only enhance that, making now a great time to buy here before prices rise again.”
